Just spoke to a friend from the Dominican Republic who related to me the ingredients of a drink she prepared to calm/treat symptoms of a cold/flu she thought was coming on: beaten egg yolks, milk, freshly-brewed and strained coffee, a dram or two of some hard liquor, and grated nutmeg. All frothed by hand prior to consuming with a wooden 'batidor' like the one I purchased in Mexico in the late 1970's for frothing hot chocolate.

Tell me about it! It is getting boring and I hear "woohoo" inside me everytime I see a word that starts with something else than "k" or "q". Interesting, though. I think I'll call my coffee nitta paisiksikimi from now on.

Nice list! Just what I want first thing in the morning (or afternoon, as the case may be). I see you are already listing the Slovene and BCSM (Bosno-Croato-Serbo-Montenegrin) kava (sans accent), though Serbians seem to prefer kafa (or кафа in Cyrillic spelling). In Russian, coffee would be кофе (transliterated kofe). Also, my friends in Maryland fondly refer to this beverage as java (no matter where the beans originate).
